I am currently 26. I got divorced 2 years ago after being married for less than a year. The marriage ended due to infeldelity on his part. I feel like damaged goods, so I shy away from dating all together. I don't know how guys will react will I tell them I was married. I have no children.

I am sorry to hear that your exhusband was unfaithful. There are so many divorced people nowadays, I would not worry about it. Especially since you guys were not married for long. Most couples are engaged longer than you guys were married.
The important thing is to try and be trusting of people inspite of what your exhusband pulled. Being in a loving relationship means you want get to understand what the other person enjoys and needs so that you can give that to them. Loving is giving... without the trust factor, you won't be able to understand your partner nor bond with him properly.
Hang in there... I went through a similar situation and I am now married to the love of my life. We have one son and another child on the way.

Why would you consider yourself damaged in any way. Life is a learning experience. You don't live under a mushroom. I personally don't like buying a brand new car; I prefer one that has been driven so that if anything needs fixing on it you can take care of it (rough anology). I was married and divorced; then married a young lady who was a widow with a child. We are just survivors in the game of life; which goes on and on and on........
Do you know how good horseshoes are made? They are stuck in the fire and beaten on with a hammer and quenched in oil or water to temper them. A new horseshoe off the peg is sort of like a new inexperienced and untried human. Give me a combat veteran any day; somebody who can get the job done without too much whining.

Jennifer, I am a "soon-to-be" divorced man and I would have no problem dating a divorced woman. Remember - you are a great person and there will always be someone out there who will see that in you. I am worried that some women will be turned off when I tell them I used to be married (my wife's infidelity), but I know the only way to find someone special again is to be honest and put myself out there. Definitely a scary feeling sometimes, but I know that everything will work out in the end.

Indeed, any (straight) man out there will easily admit that they want to learn how to turn women on more often than not. In fact, the desire to learn how to make a woman want you is probably ingrained in your system, no matter what you try to do to resist it. Learn here https://tr.im/w3gm8
Unfortunately, the majority of men in today’s day and age have trouble doing this. This is why a lot of guys end up in the dreaded friend zone with their female friends or lose their girlfriends early on because they weren’t able to maintain that necessary spice in the relationship that women always crave.

For any decent guy, the fact that you were once married won't matter in the least. For goodness sake, you are not damaged goods! You are a young woman with her whole life ahead of her! Now get out there and have fun!

As long as you learned from that relationship and moved on how are you damaged goods. I just got out of a engagement and I would have no problem dating someone that has been divorced.

Honestly, they'll feel that they are eating someones left over. And you know how that feels. But it would be worse if you lie about the fact that you've been married and divorced. Always, look b/4 you leap.
